What would be a good HR for climbing? I noticed that when climbing I get into the high 160's low 170's. Which isl like 90%-95% of maximum. In other words what percent of max should I be spending my time in.
on a sidenote, I have noticed that when I am getting dehydrated that my HR tend to be higher.
